Both Jimmy Bruen and Pierce Purcell’s teams are in action again this week. Good luck to both teams and we ask as many members as possible to come along and support both teams.

Thanks to the many members who donated money and shrubs for the front of clubhouse shrubbery. We hope the recent planting will enhance this area and bring a little colour around the clubhouse. You can still donate some shrubs or contribute to this fund, contact Sinead on (086) 8565763.
